COMING SECOND: PLEASURE OR PAIN?
Every ambitious athlete hopes to fulfil their dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics. (34)
, not everyone can win, and often talented athletes must accept second place. A team of psychologists
recently (35) some research on the emotional responses of those finishing second.
For (36) individuals, a silver medal may exceed their expectations and so naturally they will
be delighted. They may also enjoy surprising experts and journalists who believed they had absolutely no
prospect of achieving anything.
In contrast, the athlete who everyone assumed would win with ease, but then suffers a narrow (37)
, may not celebrate their silver medal. This reaction differs sharply from the athlete who comes
second but finished a long way behind the winner. There is a trend in the research (38) shows such a person
will feel significantly happier.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they don't all agree about
what this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on - and that we can do something about it. We
need a few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But people need to start now to do
things to stop it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun and
control our climate. "Greenhouse gases” are those that hold the heat around the planet's surface. When we
increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat. Some
scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's temperature has
risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from two to eight degrees
Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000 years.
Sea levels could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the coast
would be in danger of flooding. If the climate change is too large and too fast, some plants and animals could
really suffer. They could even die out. Weather could become more violent and extreme. In some places
there would be more forest fires. But in other areas there would be more rain and snow, storms and floods.
Question 39. [NTL] What is the passage mainly about?
A. Global warming and its advantages. B. Global warming and its negative effects.
C. Global warming and suggested solutions. D. Global warming and forest fires.

A. absorbing the heat B. changing the environment

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of
the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking. Computer hacking is the unauthorized
access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are people who illegally enter systems. They may
alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses that can damage or destroy files. But
how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols
allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a
computer connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also
determine how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the
protocols to get unlimited access to a computer system.
In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly called
passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access challenging system like a bank or
military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these
hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the
more dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords are harder
for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In
this case, users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the
site. Users either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a
hacker steals the password, they won’t have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still
don’t know the password.
